Alex Williamson 3f68b0318b KVM: IOMMU: Disable device assignment without interrupt remapping
IOMMU interrupt remapping support provides a further layer of
isolation for device assignment by preventing arbitrary interrupt
block DMA writes by a malicious guest from reaching the host.  By
default, we should require that the platform provides interrupt
remapping support, with an opt-in mechanism for existing behavior.

Both AMD IOMMU and Intel VT-d2 hardware support interrupt
remapping, however we currently only have software support on
the Intel side.  Users wishing to re-enable device assignment
when interrupt remapping is not supported on the platform can
use the "allow_unsafe_assigned_interrupts=1" module option.
